The beginning and major milestone in our environmental achievements was accreditation to ISO14001 in 2008. This international accreditation acknowledges our commitment to environmentally sustainable printing and forms the foundation for continuous environmental practices which are the cornerstone of our company culture.

We strongly believe for the printing industry as a whole to be a tenable and sustainable future alternative, a commitment is required from all parties to pursue Eco friendly practices and principles. Many of our clients select our organisation based on our environmental philosophy.

The Benefits of Environmentally Friendly Printing

Historically, the printing industry has failed the environment through careless use of volatile chemicals, excessive water and electricity consumption, destructive timber milling practices through irresponsible paper manufacturing, and excessive toxic and general waste generation.

Bright Print Group is FSC Certified

What does that mean? We are certified to the Forest Stewardship Council’s Chain of Custody by SGS, Australia’s leading FSC certification body. We have been certified since 2009.

This accreditation allows Bright Print Group to offer our clients, printed products that are FSC certified, as long as they meet strict criteria. The primary criteria is to ensure that only FSC certified paper is used within the FSC certified product.

There are a number of FSC stocks available (including recycled paper) that your account manager or one of our This email address is being protected from spambots. You need JavaScript enabled to view it. would be happy to talk you through to get the benefit of our FSC certification.

An FSC certified printed product, is a tangible way to show your clients and stakeholders your commitment to sustainable purchasing and support of well managed forestry practices.

Sustainability Advantage

The Sustainability Advantage Programme is run by the Office of Environment & Heritage. The programme involved senior management from BPG working with environmental management experts from what was then the DECC (Department of Environment & Climate Change) to develop an action plan enabling our organisation to identify and implement sustainable operational methods.

The Programme ran for 18 months and involved the personal commitment of all senior management, as well as a financial commitment from BPG. The Programme commenced with a diagnostic of the company’s current sustainable practices and endeavours to identify at least 3 target areas for opportunity. In addition, the senior management team undertook the completion of 4 Sustainabilty Advantage Modules aimed at improving our knowledge of areas such as:

Resource efficiency

Environmental risk and responsibility

Supply chain management

Staff engagement

Climate Change

Progress with regard to our involvement in the Programme is reported via the participation in Cluster Meetings of other members, at least 3 times per year.

We believe that involvement in this programme is vital to BPG’s continued pursuit of superior, environmentally friendly and sustainable print production. Specific KPI’s continue to be developed around our action plans and incorporated into our monthly reporting requirements to compliment our existing targets under our environmental accreditation to ISO14001:2015. We achieved the coveted Silver Membership in 2011 in recognition of our achievements as part of this program.

The programme will also assist in identifying areas of opportunity which will support our desire to reduce our GHG emissions through our association with Carbon Planet.

In 2011 we were awarded the coveted Silver Membership in recognition of our achievements under this program.

Sustainable Green Print - Level 3

In 2009, we continued our quest to develop best practice in terms of our environmental policies and procedures. To this end we sought out and received certification to the Printing Industries Association of Australia's Sustainable Green Print.

BPG were the second company in Australia and first in NSW to achieve this level of certification. The certification is printing industry specific and very rigorous in its requirement of efficiency and waste stream programs in particular.

The Beginning of Our Journey Towards Carbon Neutral Status

In an effort to begin our journey towards a more sustainable business, in 2008 we commissioned Carbon Planet to undertake a thorough study of our manufacturing process, including all inputs and outputs and to determine outcomes that would enable us to reduce our carbon emissions. BPG set about reducing its carbon emissions methodically and responsibly. Our aim at Bright Print Group continues to be one of managing our carbon emissions through better production practices, and resource minimisation. This is an ongoing process which involves continual monitoring, education and benchmarking.
